A Legacy of Quality Since the 1960s
The original Umpqua Bait Company was founded in the 1960s. Over the years, the business has changed hands many times, but one thing remains the same: our commitment to providing top quality bait to the southern Oregon coast. We bridge the gap between archival tradition and modern reliability, ensuring that every angler, guide, and charter service has access to the very best ocean, river, and lake supplies.
Located at the heart of Winchester Bay, we continue to uphold the artisanal standards set decades ago, delivering fresh and frozen products with the rugged dependability that defined the working waterfronts of yesteryear.
